UN Court Orders U.S. to Lift Some Iran Sanctions

The United Nations' highest court ordered the United States to lift sanctions on Iran that affect imports of humanitarian goods and products and services linked to civil aviation safety. The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes the decision by the International Court of Justice. Iranian Foreign Ministry regards the court’s decision as another clear testament to the truthfulness of Iran and the illegitimacy and unfairness of the United States’ sanctions against our country’s people and citizens. Iran filed International Court of Justice in July. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad JavadZarif then said that the United States “neglect diplomacy and legal obligations”. It should be recalled that in May, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal and the resumption of sanctions against Iran. France, Great Britain, Germany, China and Russia condemned this step and stood for maintaining the agreement. Source: kommersant
